Week 59

What I pre-planned

• docucap
  • fine-tuning parameters for actual stitching using all 4
• work on samaya
  • Mahabharata extraction
• lock in at work stuff cuz it is interesting

What new did I learn

• eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher is an actual word for german egg crackers
• found an amazing blog deep dive into the actual timeline of hindu mythology
• i need to make sure to upskill myself in relevant fields because you never know when the market forces everyone to catch up to you
• lots of functional knowledge in work
  • about vision and ongoing, future works
  • how complicated resource management solutions work
  • database, middleware and scaling them for huge customers

Where/How did I implement it

• tested complete calibration pipeline on the esp modules
  • requires a lot of fine-tuning params for faster and more accurate stitching
• write some nice blogs on care and success
• got some nice progress at work
  • mapped out complete years of complicated code into a graph for teams to vizualize
  • lots of brainstorming and in-depth architecture discussions on necessary usecases
• started working on samaya for a very robust base (complete vibe code attempt)
  • failed miserably using gpt5
  • even grok could not go back to something better
  • started from scratch for single file complete book data extraction
    • this will take time but is straight forward
    • had to scrap 1 full day of llm analysis due to bad json parsing

Any memorable moments of the week

• new pfp on X
• completed modern family, very much fun and memorable
